ATNLP: Week 2

Lab sessions start next week - and tutorials the week after. Please see the Labs link on the right of this page to find the materials for following. There will be a demonstrator available at the drop in lab sessions. Please see the timetable for the time and place of the 5 possible lab sessions. They are meant to help you get hands on experience with working on NLP projects like the assignment.  

The coursework has been pre-released on the Opencourse website (https://opencourse.inf.ed.ac.uk/atnlp/assessment). Please note that it is officially released on 9/2/2026. Read the instructions through the website, the PDF, and the README.md files early to know how to prepare and manage your time.

We believe pre-releasing the assignment can be beneficial, especially to those who need more time to manage their work. If you have any questions, please post them on Piazza.

In addition, you will have to submit the partnering form here: https://edin.ac/4jKANHn . Please read the instructions on the form carefully, as only one partner for a given pair needs to submit it. The deadline for submitting the form is 26/1/2026 (Monday) at 5pm - so that leaves you more than a week to do that.

Once we set up the partners, we hope to obtain the necessary ELM credits for solving Part 1 of the coursework quickly.
